On one of my descends, I hit 33.8 MPH. Very short descend, but was pretty impressed. Still not quite as fast as a real road bike, but Im happy thus far. My average speed so far is only 16.X MPH.
You do feel the bumps in the road with this bike but standing helps. I've been commuting with this bike to work and its much quicker than when I was riding my FS MTB.
Overall, great bike for its price. I probably could have gotten the Specialized Sequiao (drop bars), but opted for this being my first "road bike."
Got onto this late- but I was going to tell you that I am a Kona Fan and you cannot beat a Kona- However, I did a ride last year in which the Sirrus bike was by far the most popular bike on the ride. It was nearly a closed ride- as it was organised by the Police, and basically for police with a few guests. I was one of the guests. It may have been that in a small circle like this- one person influenced all the others but 7 of the owners were EX road riders that wanted a more casual bike that worked. They all understood bikes and came to their decisions independantly. I can tell you that the Sirrus works. For a first road bike you have made a very- "Professional" choice. I am a mountain biker and not into road bikes- but every time I see a Sirrus on the road- I am impressed- sounds as though you are too.
